It’s been in the works for a while now, but it looks like Women’s Hockey East will finally have itself an even number of members again.
According to USCHO, Holy Cross will be joining Women’s Hockey East as the conferences 10th member, starting in the 2018-2019 season. The conference is expected to officially announce the move at 11am today.
Hockey East had been sitting at eight members for a long time until Merrimack, automatically a member of the women’s conference due to their men’s conference membership, added varsity women’s hockey and joined the league in 2015-2016.
